Really? For my ears it sounds that Lombardo tries too hard, especially some double bass things are out of his league at early records.

Nicke on Clandestine gets my vote too. Those drummings are se genious and full of feeling.

Worst thing I've ever heard about Metal drumming. He wasn't perfectly trigger polished at it because he was the first one to even do double bass that out of control on record and no studio trickery was involved. Go check out some Combat Tour footage or anything from those years.

I hold Lombardo in very high regard for his feel and how 'alive' his playing is- especially his trademark fills that just spring out of nowhere and are always super messy and chaotic and somehow always land on their feet with cat-like precision.

when it comes to heavy/rock then Les Binks is the ultimate! his playing on Killing Machine and Stained Class pack so much feel thats its hard to put into words_________________

Fenriz' drumming on the first 6 records is fantastic; great feel, perfect sense of when to play/not to play. His drumming is never bad, but on these albums he has great feel.

I think it's the reissue LP of Under... where it states he only used the one floor tom and took all other toms off for rehearsals and the album. When listening to the album, I never thought about the fact that indeed all you hear is that kettle drum sounding floor tom if the beat isn't going. Pretty cool idea.
